Since Whole Foods stopped making their 365 Verve bars (Clif bar knockoff, ~$.70 each) I’m on the prowl for cheap clif bars. I’ve googled a bit and briefly find that the cheapest price seems to be $10/box of 12 shipped.
I’m hoping for cheaper, and since I haven’ been looking for Clif bars for very long, hoping someone has invented the wheel already.
If I want a powerbar (can’t get clif bars here) I have to fork out SFR 3.80 - that’s about $3.25 of your play money. Granted the exchange rate sucks, but it would still be way more than in the states.
Search on Amazon.com and they come up for $9.99/box. They’re elgible for the ‘free shipping on orders over $25’ promotion if you buy enough boxes of them.
1 - Through Amazon you can get a 24 variety box of Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch, Black Cherry Almond, Peanut Butter for $18.99. Buy two boxes and get free shipping, for a per bar cost of $.79 each. Downside is lack of flavor choice.
2- Also through Amazon, they have 12 packs of Peanut Butter only for $9.99 each, also eligible for the free shipping, so a cost of $.83 per bar. Again, no flavor choices.
3 - at http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/clif/clif.htm you can get 12 packs of any flavor for $10.99/12 with shipping maxing out at $5.99. So the more you buy, the better the price, but for comparison to choice #1, say you buy 4 boxes. Then you pay $1.04/bar with your choice of flavors.
I’m sure they didn’t reduce the price per powerbar when the dollar declined in value to less than 1.20sFr. But I am sure you will have to pay more once the dollar climbs back to 1.80. Sad but funny at the same time.
Sad because the stores make so much money with the currency exchange. Funny because so many customers still buy them at that price
